One hour...Ghost Hunt, Treasure Hunt..discoveries

With an hour to kill...my discoveries

Yesterday my sweet May had to help attend a Girl Scout Cookie booth set up at our local bank..the time slot she was to fill was from 4:00 - 5:00pm

rather than drive back home, I decided to, well, just drive

Went to our small town park, just to look at the scenery

found pretty wild rosehips growing along the banks of

the Brokenstraw Creek

The name Brokenstraw comes from the Indian word Cushanadauga meaning "broken grass".

There was a large Indian settlement in these parts.

resembles a river this time of year, fast flowing waters at levels much higher than normal

After my brief visit to the park..with minutes still remaining from my hour to kill

I drove west...

what could have been a ghost hunt ended up being a treasure hunt of sorts

Within the walls of this 1810 House - originally built in 1790 by Mr. Andrews in Pittsfield, PA

was

Treasure, I tell ya!

Let me share a little history of this lovely building....then I'll show you more

Most of the floors, windows and siding are original to the house...the front door was replaced, it once had two front doors, one for ladies & one for gents.

It is said to be haunted, the second floor is home to a ghost..yes, I did go up there.  No siting though...it's rumored that there was a picture taken of a child sleeping in a crib and when the film was developed it showed a woman's figure standing over the sleeping child.

ooooo, I love ghost stories!

With a long history of being home to many different business and trades, the building currently houses

Quiltessentials and Anita's Homespun Treasures

If you can believe..I live about 10 minutes from this treasure and have never visited.

Seems I was always in a rush when passing by or passing by after business hours.

But yesterday...driving by, I seen lights on...

then came my brake lights..turned around and went inside

The owners Melanie and Anita graciously let me take some photos to share

Anita's Goods

hand-dyed wool, fiber, wool felt, wool yarn & patterns

Melanie offers up the quilting-essentials end of the business

a peek at just one wall of her fabrics

She carries Moda, Andover, Red Rooster & Windam to name a few.

Beautiful Quilt, one of many for sale

And just my luck....they were having a SALE yesterday...30% off your entire purchase!

give me a B- give me an O- N-U-S!

It's a good thing the minutes remaining from my hour were very limited, I could have gone crazy wild

This is what I managed to come home with in only 15 minutes->

Fabric

Wool aka doll hair

And just so you know..I did manage to pick up Maygan on time ;)

Forcing spring is working

my hyacinths are starting to show..no color yet

Anyway..I believe I spent my hour/60 minutes very well...super excited to return to the 1810 House when I have more time to kill.

Thanks for coming along....Traci

Say a prayer for our friends and neighbors in the storm ravaged areas of the US... I pray for their safety and rebuilding of their broken homes & lives.  My heart goes out to you....
